[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I’m jealous of the many women - moms in their 40s -  in my social circle who essentially eat and drink what they want on the regular and maintain their low weight. Sizes 2 and 4s. Meanwhile I eat no more than 1500 calories (which I log) and regularly exercise and my BMI is high. I think people see women like me as dumpy failures. No matter what I achieve or who I am inside, people will ALWAYS see me as a fat person first. [/quote]

Are you sure they are really eating and drinking whatever they want all the time? I am a size 2/4 and a casual observer might think I could eat whatever I wanted because I definitely indulge if I’m at brunch or dinner or whatever but the rest of the time I pay attention and generally eat super healthy - lots of veggies, not a lot of sugar or processed carbs but I don’t make a big thing of talking about watching my diet.

PP above hit it exactly. All the skinny skinny moms I know never take a day off from exercising, dont have sweets in their house, and eat grilled chicken or salmon with salads every day. They eat/indulge out because they want people to think that is how they are and that they dont work for it. Look at every celebrity---- Im born this way! I love cheeseburgers! I hate exercising!  :roll: [/quote]

So? A lot of people minimize how much effort they put into things. Some of the most successful students I knew in school acted like they didn't study or work hard, but they really did. They wanted to pretend they were just naturally smart when really it was a lot of effort. That's just human nature. Why are people surprised its actually work, like anything else? [/quote]
